The school is committed to helping every pupil achieve their full potential through personalised learning, therapeutic support and positive behaviour strategies. As an SEN Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital role in supporting pupils both inside and outside the classroom. Responsibilities will include working on a one-to-one basis and with small groups, assisting with differentiated learning activities, supporting communication and social development, promoting independence, and helping pupils regulate their emotions throughout the school day. You will work closely with teachers, therapists and other support staff to create an engaging and inclusive learning experience. The role may also involve supporting personal care where required, implementing behaviour support plans, encouraging positive interactions, and celebrating every achievement, no matter how small. Whether you are looking for flexible daily supply work or a longer-term placement, this is an excellent opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people with additional needs.
